About our rating systemWay down the West End Road, well past all the other resorts, is an oasis of sea breezes and the sounds of surf called the Westender Inn. It is a haven of relaxing Jamaican hospitality; classic, comfortable, homey rooms; and sunset views from hammocks on the veranda. (The larger size, better views, and nicer Jamaican furnishings of the suites make them worth the upgrade.)
You’ll need a car (or to take the shuttle) to get to the action in Negril, but if a quiet retreat removed from the hubbub is what you are after, the Westender is perfect.
Though there are some sunning chairs down near the water’s edge, this is not a swimming beach—the waves crash right against the rocks. There is an above-ground pool shaped like Jamaica, and another plunge pool right down on the sea rocks, where you can feel the spray of the ocean crashing a foot or two away. There are also eight inexpensive, self-catering cabins at the back of the property with full kitchens, living rooms, and TVs (local channels only), but no A/C.
